Fallen Hero
Chapter 9
*A single black ball with a silver star in the middle comes out of the bag as it lands with the rest of it's starred 'cousins' as the other original characters left the two to 'negotiate'*
Slug: You owe me, Zi-Kita.
Zi-Kita: Sure, sure. Just summon the damn dragon already.
Slug: *in Namekian* I summon you Tronikor!
*Tronikor appears wearing a Santa suit topped with a Santa hat (instead of his normal armor) and wearing Christmas lights on his black scaly wings as Zi-Kita and Slug face vault*
Tronikor: *mumbles in Namekian* Damn Shenlong for daring me to wear this when I'm summoned! *clears throat* What the fuck do you all want?
Slug: Well, there's a wish that Lord Zi-Kita wants from you.
Tronikor: Fine. Just hurry. My turn's coming up and I need to get back on that scaly son of a bitch.
Zi-Kita: Bring back the one known as CMG back to life. *Slug repeats it*
Tronikor: Um... she's still alive, but I'd watch your asses. *Slug repeats what Tronikor says as Zi-Kita whispers in his ear what to say next*
Slug: *repeats it* How come?
CMG: *appears as a Super Bitchin' 5 (finally) and speaks in a rough, yet echoing voice in Saiya-go* Hello boys.
*The form CMG's in is almost godly. Her fur is completely white as snow with the same forest green eyes. Her hair is still brown, but in a lighter color as the clothes she wears remind someone of a certain Saiya-jin Prince's battle armor.*
Zi-Kita: What kind of transformation is that?
CMG: *growls* The very form you said didn't exist. *cracks knuckles*
Zi-Kita: That's actually a level?
Tronikor: Screw you guys. I'm going home. *pops out as the dragon balls litter the ground as Slug quickly gathers them up in the bag*
Slug: *runs away screaming like a little girl with the dragon balls in tow* AHHHHHH! FOR THE LOVE OF GURU! SAVE ME!
Zi-Kita: *stands there dumbstruck as he starts laughing at her* You look like an idiot in that form! I bet if someone added cat ears to your head, you'd look like a giant cat!
CMG: *pouts rather angrily* Then I'll tear them apart with my claws! *cat-like claws grow out of CMG's fingertips as Zi-Kita flips*
Zi-Kita: I was just kidding! Honest! *a loud cat cry is heard as the 'camera' suddenly changes to where Scrix and the other original characters were at as they saw the battle between the rather insane authoress and Dark God take place* FOR THE LOVE OF KAMI! NOT THE TAIL! *the sound of trash cans falling are heard in the background for sound effects*
Karis: *wincing* Man! Am I glad we didn't get involved with international affairs.
Infr: *eating popcorn* What a battle! When's the commercial?
Demona: You bastard! *kicks Infr in the shin before going off to rescue her mate* GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MATE, BITCH! *a catfight of another kind breaks out as the other original characters watch on*
Ganki: As usual, this is another pointless battle to read. If you really want a battle, read on. Before I forget though, she owns none of the characters off Dragon Ball Z or Slug, but us and the stupid Super Bitchin' forms that she's ripping off a Super Saiya-jin. This battle will end in the next 10 minutes. so if you want a really good one, keep reading.
Scrix: How do you know?
Ganki: I just do.
________________________________________________________________________
Bardock stared at his son as the ember eyes he possessed were cold and dark. Unable to believe that his son was taken from him again, Bardock growled angrily at Zi-Kita.
/You taken my son away from me twice!/ mumbled Bardock. /I WILL KILL YOU!/
/Kill me? When will you learn that you're no match for me?/ said Zi-Kita as Kakarotto suddenly lunged at Bardock. /Kakarotto! I didn't give you the order to attack!/
A fist hits Zi-Kita's face as the Dark God was thrown off guard. When he regained his composure, he saw Scrix standing there in the forbidden level hissing angrily at the Dark God. The transformation that Scrix went through was breathtaking as he seemed to be able to control the raging power that filled his body. His hair was black as a raven's feathers would be and deep brown-colored fur covered his torso. The golden armor the Saiya-jin God would normally wear was not on anymore as the black spandex pants seemed to hug at his muscled legs. (A/N: And the demented authoress falls in love with the way Scrix looks as the others look at her strangely and back away.)
/So even the Gods break the barriers to reach the level they forbade any Saiya-jin to reach,/ said Zi-Kita before he transformed into the forbidden level himself. Unlike Scrix's form, his ivory hair became matted in spikes as black fur grew on his massive torso. Towering over Scrix about a foot taller (A/N: Scrix is about 7 feet tall, so you do the math), Zi-Kita seemed like a giant instead of an evil Saiya-jin God. The robes ripped as his black pants came into view from beneath the cloak as his black tail seemed to grow thicker than a rope.
//The only reason this level is forbidden is due to the bloodlust that this form has,// said Scrix as his voice echoed. //Once this battle is over, this power will never be unleashed ever again through any Saiya-jin, God or mortal.//
//If I win though, this form shall be the form to give birth to the destruction of the Kais themselves,// said Zi-Kita as his voice echoed as well. (A/N: *starts backing away from Zi-Kita very slllooowwwllly...*)
//That is if you beat me,// said Scrix as he charged at the Dark God with his fist extended.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bardock was hit in the face by Kakarotto as he went flying. Suddenly, he was caught from behind by Kakarotto as Bardock tried to fight his way out of it. The scent that he gave off was confusing Kakarotto as his eyes seemed to flash back to black temporarily. Before Kakarotto could figure out the reason why, he was assaulted from behind by Vegeta and Radditz as the two teamed together to make the former Earth-raised warrior let go of his father. Bardock fell to the ground as his left arm was dislocated rather painfully as he hissed in pain while the other fighters restrained him and knocked him out. Bardock reverted back to normal as he forced himself to sit up with his right arm alone.
/Are you alright dad?/ said Radditz.
/Hell no!/ growled Bardock as he reached towards Radditz's neck with his good arm and dragged him down to face level. /Now bring Piccolo over here so I can get my arm relocated!/
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Zi-Kita and Scrix circled one another breathing hard as they tried to find a break in one another's stance. Both warriors seemed to be sweating as small rivers of blood smeared in their furred coats. As Zi-Kita charged at Scrix, the Saiya-jin God easily evaded the Dark God's blow as he lunged his feet into Zi-Kita's chest and threw him in the air. Planting his hands into the ground, Scrix twisted his body and shot up to meet him in an aerial battle to trade a melee of blows against the Dark God. The dance seemed to remind one of leaves caught in the wind as the brutal dance was orchestrated. Most of the punches and kicks were either blocked or dodged by both warriors as they seemed evenly matched. Finally, they broke away as they finished their aerial battle and descended to the ground below. Both of them stared each other down before charging at each other and throwing a fist in their faces. The impact from both of them hitting each other in the face at the same time threw them back. (A/N: Think Goku vs. Vegeta style of the battle.)
//Not bad,// said Zi-Kita as he regained his composure. //It seems we're evenly matched.//
//I say you are holding back,// said Scrix.
//Maybe I am, maybe I'm not,// said Zi-Kita as they charged at one another and met in the middle where the fight continued.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bardock was sitting up as he tested his left arm. Minutes ago, Piccolo came over and after a bunch of bitching, Vegeta managed to help relocate Bardock's shoulder so that Piccolo could chase the pain away inside Bardock's arm. The process took its time, but luckily, none of the warriors worried about Kakarotto regaining consciousness after the blow delivered to his head.
"What should we do next?" said Piccolo.
"We need to get out of here," said Bardock. "Until we can figure out what to do about Kakarot, we need to make another plan."
"One problem," said King Vegeta. "We need Scrix to get out of here, don't we?"
"Not necessarily," said Bardock. "Just grab on to my shoulder and I'll teleport us all out of here."
//None of you are leaving here alive,// said Zi-Kita as he shoves Scrix out of the way and shoots a blast towards Bardock. As the blast came screaming at him, Kakarotto suddenly got into the way as he took the blast head on. Bardock was surprised as the his son got in the way of the blast as the former Earth-raised Saiya-jin protected his former allies. Catching the blast in his hands, Kakarotto threw the blast towards the ceiling as the debris rained down on the fighters, but didn't harm them as an energy shield was generated by Nappa, Radditz, King Vegeta and Vegeta.
/Kakarot!/ cried Bardock as Kakarotto fell to the ground with his hands burned.
/I'll get us out of here,/ hissed Kakarotto in pain.
//But...// started Scrix as he stared at Kakarotto. Kakarotto's eyes were barely holding the amber gaze as it flickered black every few seconds.
/Hang on!/ growled Kakarotto as he got up and summoned his power around his body as everyone on the rescue party was suddenly feeling a sense of distortion as the world around them faded.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The field of grass swayed in the wind as the peaceful scene was disturbed by the appearance of the Saiya-jins and Piccolo as Kakarotto suddenly passed out from the strain his body went through performing instant transmission without touching a single person. As everyone sighed in relief, Bardock was confused on how his son managed to pull instant transmission without touching anyone. To make matters more interesting, how did he manage to learn how to use the ability to foresee into the future to another level? So many questions seemed to be on his mind as Scrix lifted the unconscious warrior into his arms.
/Wait,/ said Bardock. /Before you leave, what happened back there?/
/Kakarot remembered us, but he's confused,/ said Scrix. /Bardock, if your going to save your son this time around, you need to become stronger./
/Stronger?/ said Bardock as Radditz became rather irritated.
/Train us,/ said Radditz as he stepped forward. /I want to get stronger too!/
/Same here,/ said Nappa as he followed suit.
/I too want to become stronger,/ said King Vegeta.
/Bardock's not the only Saiya-jin who has a bone to pick with Zi-Kita,/ said Vegeta. /Count me in./
/I owe Slug a parting gift,/ said Piccolo. /There's no way he's going to disgrace the Dragon Clan!/
/Very well, but the training won't be easy,/ said Scrix as the group disappeared from the field and teleported to the Other Realm.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
//They've escaped,// said Zi-Kita as he reverted back to normal. /Blast them all!/
/Don't worry about it,/ said Demona. /We'll get Kakarotto back. It's only a matter of time before he kills his family and allies./
/Indeed, but until then, we have no idea who side he's on,/ said Zi-Kita.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/Is he on our side?/ said Radditz as he and the other Saiya-jin were sitting at the table eating the feast set before them.
/I have no idea,/ said Bardock as he tore a bite from the chicken leg. (A/N: I was working to some Grandia music when this part of the story inspired me.)
/We need to prepare for the final battle with Zi-Kita,/ said King Vegeta. /If he manages to defeat us like the last time, we might as well kiss our asses goodbye along with the rest of the universe./
/As usual, you always seem to ruin the meal with your comments,/ said Nappa as King Vegeta threw an apple at Nappa's head. He caught the apple with his teeth. /Thank you!/
'That wasn't where I wanted the apple to go,' thought King Vegeta bitterly.
/Hey dad,/ said Vegeta. /Why did you give me to Freeza so many years ago?/
/What brought this up?/ said King Vegeta.
/I'm just curious,/ said Vegeta.
/Well, I had to keep you safe and he said it was for your own good,/ said King Vegeta. /I was wrong when I heard he was going to betray the other Saiya-jins, so I tried to save you, but he killed me./
/Was that the same reason Kakarot got shipped off to Earth,/ said Radditz.
/Actually, he was weak,/ said King Vegeta. /If you remember, you were shipped off to a planet when you were only an infant./
/I remember nothing of that sort!/ protested Radditz. /All I remember was the fact that my mom came with me when we went to the planet to destroy it. Kakarot went by himself because mom died during labor./
/That's not true,/ said Bardock. /Zi-Kita killed Celpia back on Planet Vegeta somehow and only Kakarot seems to remember how it happened. When I get my hands on Zi-Kita, I swear I'll beat him senseless./
/We still have to train though,/ said Radditz. /Speaking of which, where's Piccolo? Doesn't he eat anything?/
/Piccolo doesn't need to eat,/ said Bardock. /He's probably chugging a lot of water right now though./
/Why is Piccolo even with us?/ said Nappa. /He's not even a Saiya-jin, but he's able to speak in the same language we all can./
/Kakarot and Piccolo both learned each other's languages, so there must be a reason why it happened,/ said Bardock.
/It's still strange though that we're all together like this eating,/ said Radditz. /I mean about twenty some years ago, I was killed by Kakarot. I had no idea where the hell you were at during the time dad./
/On Freeza's ship; freezing my ass off in some machine that kept me in suspended animation,/ said Bardock bitterly. /By the time I was waken up, I was whisked away to Namek to become strong enough so I could be reunited with Kakarot./
/Wait, wait, wait,/ said Nappa. /How did he come back to life anyway?/
/Dragon balls,/ said Vegeta and Bardock in a 'well duh' kind of voice.
/Oh,/ said Nappa.
/How did you get to Namek then?/ said King Vegeta.
/Scrix took me there,/ said Bardock.
/Makes sense,/ said Vegeta as he reached for the potatoes. /The only thing that still confuses me though is why he didn't get involved back then?/
/If Scrix got involved in all of our battles, then we wouldn't have gotten strong enough to defend Earth from the androids, Cell, and Buu,/ said Bardock.
/Who's Buu?/ said Nappa.
/You don't want to know,/ said Vegeta as he thought of the walking pink tub of lard that almost killed him a second time. (A/N: If you read the first series, Vegeta escaped his fated death. I won't tell you how either! So nyah! : p)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On Earth, Mr. Buu sneezed while tending to Mr. Satan's garden.
"Buu sneeze," said Buu as he rubbed where his nose would have been if he had a nose. "Buu must be allergic to these flowers."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
/Anyway, we should train pretty hard after we're done eating,/ said Bardock.
/This food's kind of nice after being dead for so long!/ said Radditz.
/Radditz, you are dead,/ said Bardock.
/Oh yeah,/ said Radditz. /Do you think I'll get my life back after we defeat Zi-Kita?/
/It depends,/ said Bardock. /If you don't try killing your brother again, maybe./
/Hey! I was ordered by Vegeta himself that if Kakarot doesn't come along, then we have to kill him!/ said Radditz.
/Idiot, I said knock him out and drag him to me so I can kill him,/ said Vegeta. /He had no right forgetting his mission and leaving us wondering where the hell he was at./
/If you think about it,/ said Nappa, /what we did back then was kind of stupid./
/True, but you should know better than to try to kill someone who has no idea what happened to him,/ said King Vegeta as he glared at Vegeta.
/Hey! He started it!/ said Vegeta. /If he would have come along quietly without questioning us, then we wouldn't of had to fight and almost destroy Earth!/
/You've grown soft over the past years,/ said King Vegeta.
/I've heard that from you before,/ said Vegeta.
/When?/ said King Vegeta.
/During the Trial of the Saiya-jin,/ said Vegeta.
/Wasn't that the same trial that Saiya-jin have to do when they become of age?/ said Nappa. /How were you able to do it?/
/Saria came and took us to an alternate timeline where Kakarotto was bent on destruction and Bardock was some kind of tribal witch doctor that released the hidden power out of us. I won't even go in the details of what happened./ Vegeta's face became rather pink from the thoughts as his tail twitched in a negative way.
/Tell us!/ said Nappa.
/Yeah!/ said Radditz.
/Vegeta, you better tell us,/ said King Vegeta.
/If you won't, then I will,/ said Bardock with an evil smirk as the color drained from Vegeta's face.
/You wouldn't!/ said Vegeta as he got angry and was about to beat Bardock up, if Nappa and Radditz haven't of stopped him.
/What happened was my counterpart known as Wingdof grabbed Vegeta's tail,/ said Bardock as he grabbed Vegeta's tail. /Then he started petting it like this.../
/Don't you dare!/ hissed/purred Vegeta as he felt pleasure running down his tail.
/He was really pissed off, but Wingdof talked him into giving in and Vegeta's power was released,/ said Bardock as he let go of Vegeta's tail, but the tail suddenly caught Bardock's left wrist as he pulled the seer towards him. With a rather cruel smirk, Vegeta managed to free his right hand and smashed a cream pie in Bardock's face. King Vegeta, Radditz, and Nappa start laughing at Bardock for the stunt he pulled on Vegeta and how the Saiya-jin Prince got his 'revenge' on the warrior. Bardock raised his hand and rubbed the cream out of his eyes as he opened his mouth and licked the cream off his hand.
/I say you deserved it, dad,/ said Radditz as he continued to laugh, until some water fell on his head. /Hey!/
/That'll teach you for laughing at me,/ said Bardock as Radditz looked up to see an empty cup hovering in midair upside down.
/Telekinesis,/ said King Vegeta. /Did you learn that?/
/Yep,/ said Bardock. /My son taught me after the battle with Freeza. It does have its advantages and disadvantages./
/Interesting,/ said King Vegeta. /I hope I get some time to learn it./
/Later,/ said Scrix as he enters the room and sees the mess. /Bardock, I don't know why you tempted Vegeta to put a pie in your face, but save the fighting for the training room next time./
/Fine,/ said Bardock and Vegeta at the same time.
/If you're all done eating, we'll get started,/ said Scrix. /Oh, and Kakarot's awake now, Bardock./
/How is he?/ said Radditz.
/Rather pissed off,/ said Bardock as he felt the Earth-raised Saiya-jin's emotions through the bond. /You tied him down, didn't you?/
/I had to,/ said Scrix. /We're not sure if he's friend or foe yet, so we're going to have to test his loyalty./
/Excellent,/ said King Vegeta. /Let's see what side this Saiya-jin is on./
________________________________________________________________________
CMG: Yeah, I broke the action with a rather interesting meal scene that took about almost two pages, but there's a reason behind it: to get through a lot of boring plot in the future so the action can continue!
Scrix: Weren't you fighting?
CMG: Well, they're kind of 'busy' after I started the fight *cough*-ing.
Karis: Are you sick?
CMG: No. They're *cough*-ing right now.
Infr: In English please.
CMG: Fine. They're making out! Happy? *original characters back away from the demented authoress*
Scrix: I think I understood the message before you said those words.
Saria: When will I be in this fanfic of yours?
CMG: Maybe in the next chapter. I don't know. It was hard enough trying to fit Infr in the second chapter. Maybe you can help with the test of loyalty or something like that.
Saria: Sounds good.
Ganki: Will I ever return in the story?
CMG: Yep! *a frying pan hits CMG in the back of the head as she turns around and sees* Clive?
Clive: *from the original Unexpected Fate before her 'final battle'* She better not end up the same way I did!
CMG: *sweat drops* You mean killed by Bardock by suffocation and thrown in the air to be blasted into atoms? She won't die that way. I already planned what's going to happen to her.
Clive: Let me guess then: Kakarotto's going to kill her.
CMG: Maybe. Maybe not. I can't tell you. *CMG's tail twitches as ideas float in her head*
Clive: *thinking* I liked her when she was writing to the story line...
CMG: Stay tuned. There's more to come soon!
